Great
drill for working on stopping the ball, ball pressure and
creating turnovers.

Procedure:

This is a full court press drill. Line-up your defensive
players as follows: 1 - starts on the foul line, 2 - is
on the left side at half court, 3 - is on the right side
at half court, 4 is in the center at half court, 5 is on
the opposite foul line. Once the ball is inbounded, 1 plays
defense on the ball. When the player starts to move to a
side and is nearing half court, 2 or 3 depending on which
side of the court the ball is on will step up and try and
trap the ball. If the ball is on 2's side then 3 will move
closer to the ball and watch for a pass back or to the middle.
4 will shuffle back a bit, but stay in the middle of the
court, waiting to steal any passes down court to the middle
or cross court. 5 is still on the foul line unless there
are players deep in which case he will move back with them
but stay in the middle. 1 and either 2 or 3 try to stop
the dribble. Once the ball is stopped, then they try to
steal it. If the press is broken then transition to your
regular defense.
